Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop recommendations for the treatment of chikungunya fever in Brazil. A literature review was performed via evidence‐based selection of articles in the databases Medline, SciELO, PubMed and Embase and conference proceedings abstracts, in addition to expert opinions to support decision‐making in defining recommendations. The Delphi method was used to define the degrees of agreement in 2 face‐to‐face meetings and several online voting rounds. This study is part 2 of the Recommendations of the Brazilian Society of Rheumatology (Sociedade Brasileira de Reumatologia-SBR) for the Diagnosis and Treatment of chikungunya fever and specifically addresses treatment.
